Post by: Jace_Beleren on August 11, 2014, 12:15:01 PM
Hey all, this is my Dimir Modern Mill deck. I've been playing Standard for a few months, but I'm new to Modern. I know it's a much different format, so I'd like all of your help and suggestions for my deck!

Lands
15 Island
9 Swamp
Creatures
4 Hedron Crab
4 Jace's Phantasm
Spells
4 Mind Sculpt
4 Mind Funeral
4 Archive Trap
2 Ætherize
2 Traumatize
2 Jace, Memory Adept
2 Jace, Architect of Thought
4 Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver
4 Glimpse the Unthinkable

My first suggestion would be to put this under the modern section. This section is for ways to make this forum and app better. I'm sure people will be willing and more able then me.

Hope this helps some sorry I couldn't do more.

I'm not much of a modern player but {ghost quarter} can help force opponents into an archive trap.

This is true. Also, if you can afford it, fetch lands like {misty rainforest} and {scalding tarn} will get you more Hedron crab triggers.

See my Esper Mill deck I'm taking to a PTQ it'll help you build.

But,

1. Replace mind Sculpt with {Breaking//Entering}

2. {Visions of Beyond} = {Ancestral Recall} (Power Nine card)

3. include better removal. I can see {Slaughter Pact} being good or some 2 mana kill spell or even {Dismember}

Ok also take out Ashiok and your Jaces they are way too slow add in 2-3 {Crypt Incursion} and I'd also suggest some counterspells {Mana Leak} and lower costed counters would do good.

Also {Surgical Extraction} can/will be your best friend!
